Q & A / Question & Answer
Q What type of class & test are right for me?
A Computer Power Point Kiosk self study & test is good if you:
1) are recertifying and don’t feel you need a full class
2) study better on a computer and do not like instructor led classes
3) are a visual learner
Q How long does the process take? A You can take 1-3 hours to pre-study with our 200 frame power point learning presentation. You are in control, so if you know something you can forward to the next screen. You can take as long as you want on an item that you may want to refresh on, such as temperatures or pathogens. When you are ready, take a short break and our proctor will get you checked in to take the test on computer. You have two hours to complete the test which averages 80 questions. Most people take between 1 to 1 1/2 hours to complete it. You will know if you passed or failed immediately after the test. Your certificate will be mailed to you.
Q Do I need a study book?
A Most people that have English as a first language do not need to pre-study by book. However, if you are new to food safety and opt for the Kiosk you may want to pre-study as well. The book is also nice to have as a reference for questions on the job and to use as a training tool for your food handlers. You can purchase a book on-line, pick one up at the school, or in our classroom day of class.

A After you receive your certificate, take it to your County Department of Environmental Health to get your FSM card.
Q How long is my certification good for?
A Depending on each county your certification is good for 3 to 5 years.
Q What if I move to another county or state?
A Your national certification through National Registry of Food Safety Professionals is good for 5 years, so just take your certificate to the local health department and get a card for their county.

A
1) Valid picture ID of the following types: State Drivers License or ID card, Passport, Employment Authorization or Alien Registration, or Military ID.
2) Paper and pen to take notes during kiosk. You must surrender your notes prior to the test.
Q How should I dress for study & test?
A Dress comfortably. Layers are good. If you tend to get cold in air conditioning bring a sweater or long sleeved shirt. If you easily get warm wear a short sleeved shirt. Generally it comfortable for most in a short sleeve shirt or blouse.
Q Can I bring food, drinks, and snacks?
A Yes. We have a refrigerator & microwave for your use. There is also a drink & snack vending machine in our break room for your convenience.
Q Can I eat & drink during the study period?
A NO eating or drinking is aloud in the computer room. However, you may take breaks and eat and drink in the break room.
Q What language can I take the test in?
A The computer test is given in English and Spanish only. We can order written tests in seven languages. Please allow time for the tests to be ordered.
Q What if I have a food safety question later?
A We are available to our students for consultations and to answer any food safety and compliance questions you may have in the future. If we don't know we will find out or refer you to an expert that does.
Q What if I was visited by the Health Inspector? A If you were told by an inspector that you or your staff need to complete training for non compliance of licensing certificates or violations, we will contact them and let them know you are enrolled in a class & test as soon as you have enrolled and paid. Please let our staff this is needed. We have a very good rapor with enforcement. Usually as long as you are enrolled and have proof of enrollment in an upcoming class you will be in compliance when the health inspector comes back. DO NOT MISS A CLASS THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS REASON.
